Thanksgiving

We had a nice meal with my Dad. Unfortunately, he didn't have a nice ride home. As soon as we sat down to dinner, it started freezing rain....like hard! It stopped and we didn't think much more if it, until we looked at the radar after pie and realized it had been snowing between Rapids and Duluth the entire time! It was not a fun ride home, but he made it safely.

We got a few inches of snow which put me in the Christmas Spirit (that and watching the Polar Express and Elf Thanksgiving night). I say I am going to wait long enough to get a real tree every year, but never can. So today I put out all of my Christmas stuff. Which quickly led to the realization that I needed a new tree topper as well as a couple strings of lights. Which meant I bravely ventured out on Black Friday. I typically avoid all that craziness at all costs.

Kyle has also been taking advantage of some time off to work on the basement. The walls of the office are done and painted, and the flooring is now going in.

Here are some pictures of our progress as well as how Lucy reacts to all the festivities:
